I need to get going on my 3D printer, it's just an expensive device collecting dust at the moment... Last few times I tried to do a test print it just slid around after a few layers and ruined the print.
What printer? If you have a glass bed, glue stick like the other guy said.. if you have a textured pei sheet, clean the sheet with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Actually any time you touch the bed with your hands, no matter if it's glass or pei, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol. The oils on your hands are the enemy of good bed adhesion.
I have one of these https://www.creality.com/products/creality-cr-10-smart-pro-3d-printer, looks like a pei sheet. I haven't heard of the isopropyl alcohol thing... I'll have to give that a try, thanks!
Interesting point about the hands as well, noted... Maybe I'll give this a shot later in the week.
Increase the bed temp, try using a glue stick on the bed, and add a brim. It that doesn't work check the first layer height.
Thanks, I'll definitely keep this in mind!
